Scott McLaughlin Obituary
Vermont Army National Guard, Sergeant E-5 Scott Paul McLaughlin – 29, died Thursday, September 22, 2005 in Ramadi, Iraq while serving in Operation Iraqi Freedom. Born in Berlin on June 18, 1976, he was the son of Kevin and Vickie (Wells) McLaughlin. On August 5, 2000, he married the former Nicole Renee MacIver in West Bolton.
Scott was a 1994 graduate of Mount Mansfield Union High School and enlisted in the U.S. Marines. Following his discharge, Scott worked as a cutting technician for Cadcut in Middlesex where he was currently employed. Continuing his military service, Scott joined the Army National Guard, Company C, 1st Battalion of the 172nd Armed Regiment of Morrisville with whom he was currently serving in Iraq as members of Task Force Saber.
Known for his quick smile and gentle, kindhearted spirit, Scott was most at home in the woods enjoying hunting and fishing. He cherished his wife, Nicole; their children, Tyler and Molly and the time spent with family and friends. Church played an integral role in Scott’s life, attending with his family at Living Hope Wesleyan Fellowship (formerly the Standard Church) in Waterbury Center.
Scott is survived by his wife, Nicole, and their children, Molly Marlene McLaughlin and Tyler Scott McLaughlin, all of Hardwick; his father and mother, Kevin and Vickie McLaughlin of West Bolton; his paternal grandmother, Esther McLaughlin of Cincinnati, Ohio; his sister, Shalena Hansen and her husband, Scott of West Bolton; his bother, John P. McLaughlin and his wife, Patricia Gray-McLaughlin of Underhill; as well as a large and loving extended family.
Funeral services will be held from Hunger Mountain Christian Assembly, Route 100, Waterbury Center on Saturday at 1 p.m. Friends may call at the church on Friday from 5 – 8 p.m. The family requests that flowers be omitted; rather for those who wish, memorial gifts would be appreciated to TD Banknorth, PO Box 360, Waterbury, VT 05676, to be used for the care and education of Scott’s children.
